March Biological Beneficial Insects. The spider mite is a destructive pest that attacks over 180 different ornamental plants and agricultural crops outdoors, in fruit orchards and greenhouses.

Spider mites are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence and the damage they cause is more noticeable than the spider mites themselves. The spider mite feeds by piercing a single plant cell at a time and sucking the sap. This will eventually leave a tiny brown or white sunken spot and may cause distorted leaf growth. This causes photosynthesis to decline and can hurt agricultural crop production. Some species produce fine webbing around the leaves they’re feeding on and near the tops of the plants where humidity is lower.
Cannabis Bureau. Cannabis and cancer. All the Young Dudes: Cannabis Pollen Collection and Use. Pot magazines like High Times are famous for publishing amazing pictures of cannabis flowers of mostly the female species.

Cannabis is a dioecious plant, which means that the male and female flowers develop on separate plants, although monoecious examples with both sexes on one plant are found. Sibling crosses draw genetic traits from both the mother and father plant, the male plays just as important a role as the female does but its rare to see male cannabis plants in full bloom and pollen collection and use is almost a mythical craft. I will do my best in this article to shed some light on the ways pollen is collected and dispersed. Before we talk about collecting pollen let’s talk about staggering. This is a trick I learned by trial and error that allows us to get the maximum number of seeds per plant. Once the male is flowering well the females will be entering a window around day 21-24.

Ok, so now we have our male in full bloom and we have our females in the breeding room.

Though not considered an essential element for plant growth, silicon is absorbed in large quantities and accumulates within the sugarcane plant. The accumulated silicon within the plant has been linked to: reduced pest attack and disease, reduced lodging, enhanced tolerance to frosts and water stress, and increased sugarcane photosynthetic capacity. The use of cement as a source of silicon was shown to increase cane yields by 14 t/ha in the plant-cane crop. Results suggest that silicon should be included in the fertilizer program as a "beneficial" element in order to maintain soil fertility, reduce environmental impact, and increase sugarcane sustainability. Key words: Calcium silicate, lodging, ratoon, slag, sustainability. Pacific Agri-Food Research Centre. The Pacific Agri-Food Research Centre (PARC) in British Columbia is one of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada's national network of 19 research centres.

The Centre consists of two independent research sites: Agassiz and Summerland. Both locations are Minor Use Pesticide Program sites that improve access to new and effective crop protection tools and technologies. The mission of the PARC Summerland Research Centre is to generate knowledge and technologies to promote sustainable and economically viable production of wholesome foods and novel bioproducts from high-value horticultural crops for local, national and international producers and markets. Summerland is the home of the Canadian Plant Virus Collection which consists of freeze-dried and live viruses maintained in perennial plants.

Areas of Research. PENCIL METHOD Medical Marijuana News Magazine. Canadian growers have been developing a variety of means to maximize cannabis potency and quality through environmental and nutrient-management practices.

Atmosphere Control The plants shown being harvested in this garden (courtesy of the Urban Grower) were cultivated in a controlled-environment agriculture (CEA) system that allowed the grower to exercise perfect control over every environmental parameter in the growroom.

True Stories: CO's Protecting - ThunderHawk Caucasians. Maahes. Origin[edit] The first recorded reference to Maahes is from the New Kingdom.

Some Egyptologists have suggested that Maahes was of foreign origin; [3] indeed there is some evidence that he may have been identical with the lion-god Apedemak worshipped in Nubia and Egypt's Western Desert. As a lion-god and patron, he was also considered the son of Ra and of Bast,[4] the feline war goddess and patron of Lower Egypt as well as Sekhmet, the lioness war goddess and patron of Upper Egypt.

Since his cult was centred in Per-Bast (Bubastis in Greek) or in Taremu (Leontopolis in Greek), he was more known as the son of Bast. As he became a tutelary deity of Egypt, his father was said to be the chief male deity at the time - either Ptah, or Ra who had by this time already merged with Atum into Atum-Ra. Considered to have powerful attributes, feline deities were associated with the pharaohs, and became patrons of Egypt. Name[edit]

CANNABIS CULTURE - A retrospecive of the best marijuana varieties from the 70's and 80's Colombian Gold Colombian Gold came from the highland Colombian valleys near the equator, as well as on the coast (the Caribbean and the Pacific).

A few rare, viable seeds were found that were dark, small-sized and roundish. The buds were leafy and the most beautiful golden blond color.
Antioxidant supplement created for people who smoke medicinal marijuana. The first antioxidant formula designed specifically for users of medicinal herbs.

When you smoke or vaporize you bring heat and combustion byproducts into your lungs.
